One Piece Cosplay Contest – #13 Ed Stewart

I’ve enjoyed One Piece for years, and I often attend conventions which give me a chance to cosplay as my favourite Character: Sanji. I wore this costume, his time-skip variation, at MCM Expo in London back in 2011. I had a fantastic time, and so many people complimented on my costume, some saying I was the best Sanji they’d seen (although I didn’t believe them). Unlike some Sanji cosplayers I’ve seen, I grew the beard properly instead of drawing it on, so it felt more real.

I’ve been a fan of One Piece since my friend introduced it to me years ago. My favourite character was immediately Sanji, followed by Nami. I read the new chapters and watch the new episodes as soon as they are released.
